At least something good is going to come out of the negative attention that New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio got for eating a slice of pizza with a fork recently. The controversial fork from Goodfella's Pizzeria in Staten Island, NY will be auctioned for charity, according to recent reports.

But the controversy dubbed Pizzagate and Forkgate is still sparking heated conversations.

We Italians eat pizza with our hand. Much of fast food to enjoy it must be eating with your hand.
The use of hands adds another dimension to the taste, no to mention that it is fun. Then you lick your fingers

You'd have to eat Chicago-style pizza with a knife and a fork, wouldn't you?

But then Chicago-style pizza isn't really pizza, is it?

Never mind.

Fork pizza is taboo in NY... unless you're reheating it and it comes out too hot out of the microwave.
